First of all, I am not speaking about my country or your country or about differences between countries at all. Why do you see things in such restrictive political perspective? You must be an American

No ask if I wish it was not the case, sure, but it's not the problem of people outside your country to come wipe your nose and pat you on the head with a "there, there I'll make it all better" nor is it Amazon's job. The laws of your country determine all of this.

I just commented that Kindle has some faults from being too closed and it has nothing to do with the laws of my/your/anyone's country.

Have you bothered to investigate if Amazon has to pay the charges on every book no matter how delivered? Have you even considered that case? What other fees is Amazon required to pay in order to sell books to people in Latvia? As I say, it's nobody's problems but yours.

I have and no, the $2 surcharge is not connected with selling books to Latvians. As in other EU countries, there is a VAT charged for purchases from Amazon but I am not talking about this.

Sorry if this is harsh but really, what do you expect others to do for you? BTW, I fully understand the need to vent though so vent on ya whacky Latvianite!!

I am sorry if the phrase "communist system" has disturbed American sensitivities. No analogy can be perfect but it is still true that closed content delivery model is very much like the Soviet economy (which was much stronger than most people think). Do not be afraid to say that if you consider it to be a good thing.
